Interactive FAQ
What is the gradient?
The gradient is a vector that points in the direction of the greatest increase of a scalar function, and its magnitude is the rate of change in that direction.
Why is finding the zero gradient important?
Finding the zero gradient helps identify critical points, where the function has a local maximum, minimum, or saddle point.
